GIVING BAGS - THANK YOU! 
Last week, each MBES classroom participated in a Community Outreach activity by filling a large bag full of non-perishable foods and toiletry items that will directly benefit families from Powers Ferry and Norton Park Elementary schools.
We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to give back to our local community. Thank you to all the families who participated by sending in items!

EVERYDAY HEROES: THE POWER OF ONE 
We are excited to be kicking of the 2018-2019 Honoring Our Heroes Essay program!
Honoring Our Heroes is a writing program that encourages students to discover, honor, and write about real-life heroes - role models displaying generosity, trust, persistence, dedication, leadership, creativity, caring, bravery, imagination, service, gentleness, courage or compassion. Students are asked to redefine media-hyped and cartoon heroes such as professional athletes, movie stars, and rock musicians and instead recognize someone who has made a more personal impact on the student's life such as a family member, doctor, public safety officer, soldier, or teacher. What a great opportunity to honor someone who may not even know what a difference they are making in your student's life!
The student entry form can be found by clicking
HERE. Entries are due by
January 15, 2019.
